ABSTRACT:

The random numbers have been generated by the GCC compiler and tested for their randomness. The code used by the library function of GCC compiler to generate random numbers is also presented. Chi-square test, Runs test below and above median, and Reverse arrangement test have been conducted to test the randomness. It has been shown that the Random numbers generated by GCC compiler have successfully passed these tests.
